Staff Answer
Certain fragrances mix better than others and do not need to be modified. You can test each new fragrance to see if it mixes well into the body wash or you can use the EO/FO modifier for every fragrance to take away the guess work.

Staff Answer
You would still need the FO/EO Modifier if using an essential oil. Essential oils are used at 1/3 the amount of a fragrance oil so for a 16 oz. bottle, you would add 1.5 ml (1%) EO mixed in with 6 ml modifier.

"If I have made Body wash using the Crystal clear shower gel, but it got all seperated, can I add FO FE modifier in after it's already made? Exactly what would I have to do? How much would I add? I already talked to Caitlyn from customer service, but not sure of the steps I need to take to repair the shower gel that this has happened to. Thank you!"

Staff Answer
We do recommend using the FO/EO Modifier with your fragrance oil when blending into any water-based product, such as the shower gel. Normally, you would mix 4 parts of the modifier to one part of the fragrance oil. You would then add 1-2% of that modified product to your base. We recommend pouring out what is now in your bottles into a glass measuring cup. Heat it slightly and then add modifier. Be sure it no longer separates before pouring back into bottles.

Staff Answer
Using this recipe, it would cost about $7.00 per bottle to make. If you purchase larger quantities of product, such as 1 gallon of Shower Gel, 12 piece bottles (which would be .83 instead of 1.95 per bottle) etc. This would bring the per bottle cost down if purchased in this way.

Staff Answer
We recommend first mixing the fragrance with the stabilizer as recommended (either 2:1 or 1:1 depending on percentage of vanilla). If mixing .30 oz FO with .30 oz. Stabilizer, this will equal .60 oz. or just over 2% liquid additive to the 32 oz. Body Wash. To this stabilized mixture, add the FO/EO Modifier at 4 parts to 1 part fragrance oil (2.4 oz. Modifier to .60 oz. fragrance mixture).
